LÉVIS, Que. – The Notre Dame Hounds have won their second-consecutive TELUS Cup following a 3-2 victory
over the Mississauga Reps on Sunday afternoon in Lévis, Que in the gold medal game of the National Midget
Championship.
Liam O’Brien (Halifax, N.S.) picked a great time to score his first goal of the tournament at 7:56 of the
third period to break a 2-2 tie and give Notre Dame the lead. Slater Koekkoek (Mountain, Ont.) and Marcus
Messier (Canmore, Alta.) also scored for the Hounds, who call Wilcox, Sask., home.
Eric Locke (Toronto, Ont.) scored both goals for the Reps, who played in their first National Midget
Championship this week. Mississauga opened a 1-0 lead in the first period, but Koekkoek answered back later
in the frame. The teams went into the third tied at 1-1. Malcolm Subban (Toronto, Ont.) made 55 saves in the
Mississauga net to keep his team in the game.
The win gives Notre Dame four gold medals at the National Midget Championship, which ties it with the
Regina Pat Canadians for most all-time.
In Sunday’s bronze medal game, the St. John’s Fog Devils earned a 5-4 victory over the Gaulois du Collège
Antoine-Girouard, ending Quebec’s 12-year streak with a medal. Zach O’Brien (St. John’s, N.L.) led the Fog
Devils with three goals in the second period. St. John’s natives Marcus Power and Dylan Brake also scored for
the winners. Alexandre Lemieux (Beloeil, Que.), Sébastien Sylvestre (Boucherville, Que.), Guillaume Mollicone
(Boucherville, Que.) and Dominic Beauchemin (Varennes, Que.) scored for Antoine-Girouard.
